Well we have had a busy past week. Tom started kindergarten on Tuesday. The first couple of days were a little rocky but with a few small routine adjustments we are smoothing things out. He has been very tired after school, but has seemed to be enjoying himself.
On the medical front, things seem to be looking up. We are still working to get Tom up to the full dose of amitriptyline but are pleased to report that so far there seems to be no negative reactions. Giving him the corn starch in the morning has been doing wonders. He has not had his usual periods of insatiable hunger but instead has been eating well throughout the day. We have also noticed that he seems to be putting on a bit of weight. All of these are very positive signs for the road ahead.
Yesterday we we were pleased to participate in Dylan's Run. We ended up having 35 team members. Everything went very well and it was a great day for a walk. Thank you to everyone that participated, and a special thanks to Kelly Maddern (Kami's mom) for designing such a nice logo for our shirts- ours was the best one there!
In other news, my little baby sister went off to college! I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday, even down to the shirt I was wearing. As I held her tiny body in my arms I could have never imagined the beautiful smart women that she would someday be or the wonderful friend that I would find in her. Though I am sure she will do wonderful with every aspect of her changing life I still sit here a little nervous for her. I know that at times change can be hard and scary and that sometimes just when you feel all grown up you find yourself in a situation that you don't know how to handle. It is those times that it will be helpful to call your sister- even if it is 2:00am!!!
Well as the weather gets cooler and another summer is behind us it is nice to look back on all the fun we have had and look forward to being able to relax for a little bit. Not for long though... Christmas is coming!!!
